Come and join us on our journey as we Redesign the Future at the 2nd annual Environmental Summit for

Have you ever been hiking? Have you ever noticed how
beautiful it is when you find yourself in the middle of nature?

Well, I have, and let me tell you it’s amazing!

I love to hike with anyone I can, especially those who are
close to me. When I go hiking it might be in the depths of the Colorado
Mountains or here in North Carolina but, it doesn’t matter where I (or you) go,
it’s the experience in nature and realizing what is here on earth in another
perspective.

Recently I hiked some of the Catawba College Preserve trails
while attending the Summit hosted here.

If you have ever visited the campus of Catawba College
(Salisbury, NC) then you know it isn’t
the largest outback area ever; however, it is extremely beautiful.

On this campus you can visit the Fred Stanbeck Ecological
Preserve, it includes 189 acres of land.

On this land there are a total of 150 bird species. You
might be shocked at this number; I know I was but, it’s definitely true!

If you ever find yourself in Salisbury, North Carolina, come
on by to the ecological preserve at Catawba College; we would love to have you,
and so would the birds!
